During interrogation, the suspects confessed they had come from Wardha to buy drugs in Nagpur. Following this lead, the police used their mobile phones to lure the local drug supplier to the spot. As soon as Ayush Amrit Meshram, a known MD supplier from Nagpur, arrived with the drugs, the police team, already stationed at the location, arrested him.
Approximately 20 grams of MD drugs, estimated to be worth ₹2 lakh, were recovered from Meshram. In total, the police seized cash, two two-wheelers, mobile phones, and narcotics, amounting to a total value of ₹4.24 lakh.
Mankapur Police’s swift and strategic action is being hailed as a significant success in the ongoing fight against narcotics in the city.
